Dancing in tie white House.

The practice of dancing in the White
House by the hostess herself was come
menced if we mistake not, during the
administration of Andrew jackson, during
Which time Emily Donelson OBLIGATED as
the nations hostess. Previous to that
time dancing was almost rigidly ignored
at the parties and drawing rooms that were
given. The wife of our first President
allowed the term of her husbands Office
to expire without setting the example, al
though she danced before Washington's
ascendancy 10 the Presidency. The shat
tered health of Abigail Adams was saffi-
ci5nt to exclude the practice from the one
drawing room" which she gave during
her briet occupancy of the White House.
Jefferson two daughters fai ed to establish
the precedent, but their successor, Dolly
Adams, gave several balls although she
never danced at them herself. Mrs.
Monroe's reluctance to social enjoYnents
was too pronounced to allow of so exhil-
arating an exercise as dancing, and she
was the happiest when at nine O'Clock she
dismissed her guests. Mrs. John Quincy
Adams found more pleasure in books than
in the whirl of society After her reign,
however, came a succession of years
notable for the balls given at the American
Donelson's love of dancing was too great
to be suppressed, and her balls in which
she participated, were social events of
great brilliancy. During the term of Mar
tin Van Buren, the custom of dancing was
adhered to by Angelica Leighton, and
when Mrs. Robert Tyler entered the White
House, doing the honors for her mother
in-law, the many private balls given were
the social features of the Administration.
The election of Mr.. Polk brought about
change. Mrs. Polk, opposed to dancing
on principle, discountenanced the amuse-
ment, and her firm denunciation of the
practice gave offence to Washington
society. Her successor, Mrs. Bliss, was of
another opinion, however, and her In
auguration ball.. with Miss Betty-as she
was generally kno was the queen of the
evening, was notable event in the social
history of the White House. Mrs Fill
more's gifted daughter continued the
practice. Harriet Lane, Americas social
queen during President Buchanan's occu-
pancy of the Presidents chair, was an
ardent lover of dancing and many and
brilliant were the State balls at which she
reigned. Since Miss Lanes days dancing
has been rarely INDUCED in by the ladies
of the White House. Neither Mrs, Lin
coin nor Mrs Grant danced, aud only
private balls, with scarcely any dancing,
were given byaAIrs Hayes, Mrs Garfield,
or Mrs, McEx -(Brooklyn Magazine

40 Elephants Captured at once.

Mr.. Sanderson, Superintendent of Gov
eminent Kheddahs, succeeded on the 14th
in capturing an immense herd of elephants,
numbering no fewer than 140. This is the
largest capture on record, and represents,
it is estimated, about lakh of rupees.
The scene of the capture is only six miles
from the Tura headquarters station of the
Caro- hills The stockade in which the ele-
plants are enclosed is immensely strong,
but is being further strengthened against
the pressure of so many powerful animals
by being packed up with powerful timber
supports, while an extra stoekade is being
prepared into which some of the elep pants
may be admitted before the tying-up pro-
cese with tame elephants commences.
The main stockade is literally tightly
packed with elephants of all sizes. Colonel

AFTERNOON SESSION.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Committee reassembled at
l:10 o clock.
The consideration of the Cable

adopted.
The bill passed to engrossment
and was ordered to be read third

EMr. Castle presented the follow
ing report:-
Hon. S. G. Wilder, President
Legislative Assembly-Sir: The

ferred San Act to restrict the Issu-
ing of Licenses to Retail Liquor in
Honolulu" that is to prohibit the

trcts, respectfully report that they
have considered the subject covered
by said Act, and find that if it be-
comes a law its effect will be simply
TO prevent the reissue of licenses
out of Honolulu, on expiration of
those now outstanding.
All of the committee except
Daniels favor the passage of the
bill, and so recommend. Daniels
recommends that ii be indefinitely
postponed.
On motion the report was laid on
the table to be considered with the
bill.
There being no business on the
Presidents table, a motion was
made to take the liquor bill from
the table and consider it with the

A MAJORITY OF THE CABINET.

The phrase, "a majority of the
Cabinet" is becoming quite common
both in and out of the House. 1t is
a new phrase. We think it should
not be used in connection with legis-
lation in the way it is. "The Cabi-
net" we take it, means, or should
mean, in all Cabinet questions, a
majority of the Crown Ministers.
just as 1.-The Supreme Court" means,
in all judicial questions, majority
of the Supreme Judges. Majorities
prevail as we'll in Cabinet Councils
as in the Legislative Hall. In coun-
tries with Ministerial Government,
when differences occur in Cabinets,
of a nature that cannot be compro-
missed, causing an approximation
to an even split, resignation of the
Ministry is the usual result. If a
solitary member cannot agree with
his colleagues, he usually retires, as
has Lord Churchill recently from the
British Cabinet. Why not say,
"with the consent, approval, ETC., of
the Cabinet" instead of saying, "a
majority of the Cabinet?"

TWO THIRDS VOTE.

EDITOR BULLETIN: One of the
important questions of the day has
arisen from the realization of the
general incompetency of the previous
Legislative Assemblies of this King
dom. The Legislature meets every
two years. A great many statutes,
some of them worthless, some even
injurious and dangerous, are passe d
every session. Our statute books
are crowded with numberless laws
that are imperative. Hardly more
than one or two statutes are needed
to be passed at any session. Yet
time is wasted in passing what
proves to be questionable, rejecting
what is good, and discussing inter-
minably what is indifferent. An
effort should be made to change the
character of the Legislature or at
least keep in check the indiscrimin-
ate passing of laws for successive
Legislature to repeal or amend. This
change must be simple, so as not to
decrease the powers of legislat tors,
or it will not be successful. An in
tricate bill, or complicated scheme
is beyond the power of our average
Legislators to understand, so the
simpler the bill the more chance
there is of its passage, and also less
opportunity of discussing it in detail.
A change could be effected by max
ing it rule, that the passage of q
bill must have two thirds vote, and
not simple majority as now obtains.
No measure of the Government or
the deope, that is really imperative,
will fail to secure such majority.
If the people do not demand the
passage of a hill it ought not to
pass, neither should bill, that is
simply the idea of the legislator in
Producing it. In the past such bills
have formed the bulk of our laws.
A measure that changes the vote
necessary to the passage of bill
from bare majority to two thirds,
would meet with the support of every
honest legislator as well as his con-
tinents. If adopted, it would reduce
the work of the session to mini
mum, would prevent the passage of
unnecessary, worthless and danger
Gus bills, and would leave an oppor-
tunity for the passage of good laws,
that are demanded by the people.
1t would also insure their better ex-
ecution when passed, as the larger
the majority forming the law, the
stronger will be the effort to carry it
into effect. ELECToR.
Elector sees an easy cure for adj
mitted ills; but he would discover,
on trial, that the remedy is no remedy
at all.--Ep.
